  • Ep. 60: Pavements
    At what point does a bit border on self-parody? Is releasing a three-sided LP consisting of experimental music meant to alienate your audience in any way similar to delaying the release of your sporadically scheduled podcast due to some form of intangible anxiety built on a nonexistent expectation of bit-laden descriptions? Can this lineage of bits be traced back to the history of long-winded run on sentences often woven by its author on the written film criticism side of his work? It's hard to say, but just to be sure, we'll be producing a feature length biopic documenting the rise and fall of the world's most important and influential podcast. How they met, the critical legacy of their work, the tumultuous lead up to the infamous Things episode, the history of their months-long hiatus, and the heartwarming story of how they've reconnected in their old age to put on some more shows for their fervent dedicated audience. Actors have painstakingly studied the hosts across their hundreds of hours of compiled work in order to faithfully create an awards contending film capable of documenting such historic moments as Stephen and Vaughn discussing Final Destination: Bloodlines, Hurry Up Tomorrow, and most importantly – Pavements. It might seem like a lot of effort for one podcast, but no expense can be spared to make someone realize that writing an episode description just really isn't that big of a deal.Have a question, a comment, or just want to say hello?

  • Ep. 59: The Phoenician Scheme // The Rehearsal Season 2
    Two film critics sit down to discuss two films and a season of television. Novel? Not particularly. However, the curious nature of one critic's unexpected admiration for one film concerning the misadventures of Steve and his world of crafting is enough to bewilder his misanthropic cohost – aghast at the very idea that one could find amusement in such a film. A perfect in for a potential listener to gauge the dynamic between these two hosts – one British, one American – before they engage in far more engaging intellectual discussions concerning the anticipated audience response to Wes Anderson's latest emotional diorama, and furthermore the shocking twists and turns found in one Nathan Fielder's latest season of network television. Their newly revitalized regular upload schedule continues. On a trial basis, of course.Have a question, a comment, or just want to say hello?

  • Ep. 58: Sinners // Warfare // The Shrouds
    May 18, 2025. The US and the UK. Two film critics take podcasting positions in support of a tactical spoiling operation. This podcast uses only their memories. Every effort has been made to recreate these critics' thoughts as they experienced them while watching these films, a revolutionary approach to podcasting that will feel as if you were actually there. In real time, the listener will be taken through the visceral experience of watching Ryan Coogler's Sinners, Alex Garland's Warfare, and David Cronenberg's The Shrouds, and when the dust settles on the windswept podcast streets you will feel exactly the same as you felt going in, probably. The Emilia Pérez podcast is officially cancelled, and Stephen has a theory on why parrying has become increasingly popular in video games. How that ties into anything else may surprise you.Have a question, a comment, or just want to say hello?

  • Ep. 57: Nosferatu // Anora
    Wouldst thou like to live moustacheously? Rumor has it that this is the call that the mysterious Count Orlok answered in order to be granted such a magnificent and bushy 'stache - the only downside of which was an immortal existence of demonic suffering and an insatiable thirst for both blood and land. In an attempt to turn his miserable existence around he became the world's first vacation home owner, purchasing a large estate in Germany that he planned to renovate and rent out as an Airbnb when he was back home in the Carpathian Mountains. He could only make the two week journey by boat so many times in a year, especially when each journey required a fresh crop of hapless sailors to be feasted on. But despite a wildly successful rat tourism and self-driving carriage program causing rapid economic expansion and lining his pockets, no amount of money could fill the void in his heart. This week on the podcast, Stephen and Vaughn discuss heartwarming vampire romcom Nosferatu, and dissect the moral quandary of unleashing a plague upon an entire continent for the sake of a romantic gesture. We also talk about Anora. Stephen is lying all 17 times he claims this is an Emilia Pérez podcast.Have a question, a comment, or just want to say hello?

  • Ep. 56: Megalopolis // The Substance
    Listen, I'm going to keep it real with the audience here, I think I might have peaked with the description for the last episode. I promise this isn't an increasingly elaborate, more elevated version of my normal shtick to avoid having to come up with some kind of convoluted Megalopolis related piece because I'm about to go on vacation and can't be bothered. In fact, I'm still not convinced anyone reads these, so it may not be relevant at all that I've completely given up on this one, falling from my high rise tower like I'm Adam Driver at the beginning of Megalopolis if he didn't have the ability to stop time. Is that anything? Probably not. It's fine. Enjoy the episode, we had a lot of fun recording this one. Join us as we discuss Jeremy Saulnier's Rebel Ridge, Sean McNamara's Reagan, Coralie Fargeat's The Substance, and Francis Ford Coppola's Megalopolis, a collection of films which range from worthless garbage to revolutionary filmmaking. Which one is which? Tune in to find out. Have a question, a comment, or just want to say hello?
